Impact of a computerized distress intolerance intervention on electrocortical reactivity to cannabis and threat cues: A randomized controlled trial.
Conclusions: Cannabis and threat LPPs were not altered by a brief DI intervention despite improvement in DI and cannabis use outcomes. Given that acute stress enhancement of the cannabis LPP predicted poorer CUD outcome, it may be a fruitful intervention target in distress intolerant cannabis users.

Comparing associations between mood and breath alcohol concentration in the laboratory and natural environment.
Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, Vol 36(7), Nov 2022, 885-894; doi:10.1037/adb0000814Objective: Associations between mood and drinking are part of many theoretical models of problematic alcohol use. Laboratory and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) research on associations between mood and drinking behavior has produced mixed findings, and these constructs are often measured using different methods depending on research context. The present study compares associations between mood and alcohol consumption across research contexts (laboratory vs. daily life) and measurement methods (breathalyzer vs. self-report). Method...

Proximal associations among college students’ alcohol use and cyber partner abuse perpetration.
Conclusions: Results did not support alcohol use as a proximal antecedent to college students’ cyber PA. Future research should investigate of cyber PA as a proximal risk factor for subsequent alcohol use.

Unplanned versus planned simultaneous alcohol and cannabis use in the daily lives of a predominantly white college student sample: What are the motives, contexts, and outcomes?
Conclusions: Planned simultaneous use was motivated by social and enhancement reasons, whereas planned single-substance use that became simultaneous use was more likely motivated by offers or for coping. Planned simultaneous use resulted in greater consumption, but not negative consequences. Results provide specific motives and contexts associated with unplanned and planned simultaneous use to be incorporated into real-time interventions.

Do smokers’ harm perceptions of cigarillos differ by modified use of the tobacco product? Findings from waves 3 and 4 of the PATH study.
Conclusions: The change in blunt smokers’ harm perceptions upon transitioning in blunt use suggests acknowledgment of the harm of using cigarillos in some form. Given their high perceived risk of cigarillos, blunt smokers might be receptive to replacing the tobacco product with a nontobacco wrap.

Beyond BASICS: A scoping review of novel intervention content to enhance the efficacy of brief alcohol interventions for emerging adults.
Conclusions: More research is needed to empirically evaluate both the relative efficacy of supplements and stand-alone alternatives to BMI among higher risk EAs and their potential for widespread dissemination.

Characterizing cannabis use reduction and change in functioning during treatment: Initial steps on the path to new clinical endpoints.
Reduction-based cannabis use endpoints are needed to better evaluate treatments for cannabis use disorder (CUD). This exploratory, secondary analysis aimed to characterize cannabis frequency and quantity reduction patterns and corresponding changes in psychosocial functioning during treatment. We analyzed 16 weeks (4 prerandomization, 12 postrandomization) of data (n = 302) from both arms of a randomized clinical trial assessing pharmacotherapy for CUD. Cannabis consumption pattern classes were extracted with latent profile modeling using self-reported (a) past-week days used (i.e., frequency) and (b) past-week average gra...

Real-time and next-morning correlates of subjective alcohol consequence evaluations.
Conclusions: This study is the first to assess subjective consequence evaluations in real time as well as retrospectively, for the same events. Findings continue to support the role of context (timing, mood) on subjective consequence evaluations, and suggest that ecological momentary interventions targeting alcohol consequences and related cognitions might best be delivered the morning after drinking, to capitalize on relatively more negative perceptions of one’s drinking experiences.

Daily variation in the patterns and characteristics of adolescent ENDS use.
Conclusions: Socio-ecological context is important for explaining adolescent ENDS use and it is critical to developing adolescent ENDS prevention, intervention, and treatment resources. Prevention messaging may be most relevant and effective on weekends when youth exposure to advertising and peer influences are greatest.
